Welcome the St. Croix Bass Angler's Club Site!   The St. Croix Bass Anglers fishing club is a B.A.S.S affiliated club.  Our club members all share the same passion and enthusiasm for the sport of bass fishing and it shows in our commitment to conservation, youth programs and the BASS Federation Nation.   Mississippi River - Pool 4 in Late June Produces The SCBA headed to Pepin, WI for their 3rd stop of the 2008 season.  In years past the club has always fished Pool4 in early Spring but this year we moved it back in preparation for the upcoming WBFN State Tournament July 18, 19, 20. With the recent heavy rain fall in the western WI area the Mississippi River was high but falling the week leading up to the club tournament.  Heavy favorite Mike "Mr. Mississippi" Mattis from Hudson, WI delivered again to earn himself the top stop with a nice mixed bag limit weighing 12.91 lbs.  In a close second, also from Hudson, WI was Jon Loewe with a 12.75 lb limit.  David Pechacek put together a great day and finished in 3rd place.  Rounding out the top six were Wes Haney, Josh Miller and Ken Snow.  For complete results see the tournament results page. Lots of fish were caught on Sunday and many anglers did with a number of different techniques.  However, swim jigs seemed to be the lure of choice for most and both largemouth and smallmouth seemed to be in and around current.  The 2008 Angler of the Year race is starting to take shape.  With 3 tournament complete, it is Wes Haney of Baldwin, WI currently sitting in first place.  Wes has finished in the top 5 in all of our tournaments this year and is in an excellent position for the AOY title, great job Wes!  The competition is tough so stay tuned as the SCBA Anglers fish their way for a chance at the 2008 AOY title. Next on the schedule for SCBA is the 2008 State Tournament.  I would like to wish all anglers competing in the tournament good luck and have a safe weekend.   3rd Annual Bass Lake Parent/Child Fishing Contest On Saturday June 7th, the St. Croix Bass Anglers held their 3rd Annual Parent/Child fishing contest on Bass Lake, just north of Hudson, WI.  We had another outstanding turnout of kids and parents despite the threat of bad weather and rain.  Kids, Parents and SCBA club members set out at 8:00 AM to try and catch the biggest fish in each of 4 categories:  Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Crappie and Bluegill.  All anglers return to the landing after 2 1/2 hrs of fun and fishing to weigh-in their catch and either released their fish back into the lake or kept for harvest.  We finished the event with a cookout, awards ceremony and prizes for all participants. All teams reported good fishing and the results showed.  Lots of fish were brought back to the landing for the weigh-in.  The top finishers in each species category were as follows: Largemouth Bass:  McKenzie Bishop Northern Pike:  Ryan Evans Crappie:  Camden Droppo Bluegill:  Garrett Huhn Congratulations to the top finishers and all of the kids that participated and caught fish, job well done!!  We look forward to seeing all of you again next year.
